Prerequisites

Data Preprocessing Requirements

Count Matrix Generation

Before using the Nygen, your sequencing data must be processed into count matrices. This preprocessing step typically involves:

1. Converting raw sequencing data (FASTQ files) into gene expression matrices
2. Processing through standard bioinformatics pipelines such as:
3. Cell Ranger (for 10x Genomics data)
4. alevin/alevin-fry
5. kallisto|bustools
6. STARsolo
7. zUMIs

The platform accepts count matrices from any single-cell technology, provided they are properly formatted.
